What If? 1 MILLION RP supporters show up at the RNC Convention! (Laugh Now Buddy)!
What If?
1 Million RP supporters show up at the RNC Convention with the potential to put the convention center into gridlock. Then, all wearing neutral or McCain dress UNTIL - at the prescribed moment, they unveiled their true colors, determination and strength.
The T-shirt and chant of the day could be - "Laugh Now Buddy - Laugh Now"!

i want to start a website...
Where people can sign up confirming that they are indeed heading to the convention.
Also, I want a separate sign-up for people who are bringing cameras.
The only way to beat the agent provocateurs and secret spies they will implant is to RECORD EVERYTHING. The maximum number of people should have cameras, even if they are crappy disposable ones. This whole thing must be thoroughly documented so that if something does break out, hopefully we can trace it back to the agent who started it, and if we can identify that person as hired by police, what an embarrasment for them!
I think cameras are by far the most crucial thing we need to concentrate on making sure everyone has at least a couple of disposables so we can get everything on film.
Rand Paul heard you and AGREES! :0)
Boris a Miami RP supporter!This is it, the huge march we were all waiting for. Ron Paul has made it official through his son Rand Paul.
He wants us at the convention!
"We have a chance, and we have one big final push. And it hasn't been fully announced, but it will be on our website soon. We are going to Saint Paul,Minneapolis, whether they invite us or not.
Watch the website, they are in the process of getting things finalized,,, but anybody who can go out there, we need to turn out the biggest rally that we've had...
...We don't need to be given prime-time at the convention; Prime-time will come and cover us.
...See you in Saint Paul!"

Another reason to be in Minneapolis
Activist wants Bush arrested on arrival
Minneapolis activist will ask that President Bush be tried for war crimes. Ed Felien wants Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to convene a grand jury.
By ROCHELLE OLSON, Star Tribune
Last update: May 22, 2008 - 11:30 PM
Longtime Minneapolis peace activist and sometime-gadfly Ed Felien asked a Hennepin County District judge on Thursday to compel the county attorney to arrest President Bush when his plane lands for the GOP convention in September.
Felien, a former Minneapolis City Council member, said Bush should be investigated and prosecuted for murder because of troop deaths in Iraq, conspiracy to fix oil prices and conspiracy to distribute drugs by controlling the opium trade in Afghanistan.
He acknowledged that his request was unusual, but also said, "The purpose of the prosecuting attorney is not to achieve convictions, but to seek justice."

Something big is brewing!
Their options include declaring marshal law or adjourning the convention and going home. I guess they will cancel the convention because of alleged terrorist attacks and ask for mail-in ballots from the delegates!!
Unleashing the Ron Paul supporters
There are already over 1,000,000 potential Ron Paul supports in Minneapolis/St. Paul - they do not yet recognize they are RP supporters. My suggestion is contact the RP Meetup groups in and near those cities and give them $$$ support to place newspaper, TV and radio ads throughout the summer. What can each of us do to help acquire and deploy RP yard signs, flyers and bumper stickers?
If there are any meetup members from those areas on this forum please let us know how we can help you wake up and mobilize your cities.
It would be a big help if the RP supporters who live close by
would offer to put up those from distant places for a couple of nights!
When a man's word was his bond...
What happened to the America that I grew up in?
I can remember as a child, being so enamored with the actor John Wayne. He was bigger than life. His straightfoward honesty and integrity, shown through in every movie he made. He was the epitomy of what it meant to be an American.
Truth.
Justice.
Honesty.
Family.
Country.
Community.
Courage.
Selflessness.
Sacrafice.
Somebody, that would always do what was right. No matter what the consequences. Doing what was right was never easy, but was necessary. Doing what was right, rarely had personl rewards.
Doing what was right, safeguarded your family, friends, neighbors, and your country.
Yes John Wayne was just an actor, but what a wonderful actor at a time when the roles that he played perfectly suited his talents, carrisma. At a time when the roles that he played mirrored the beliefs of a majority of Americans.
I believe that most Americans still believe in dream that was John Wayne, but I also believe that most Americans have not fully investigated the truth about Ron Paul.
Never relent people. We are in this till the end. and the end is not just the 2008 election.
But, this is only my opinion.
My Hero
The scarecrow of Romney Marsh. Anybody remember him ??
You speak
of a time when contractual law was upheld and all men were honor bound. You speak of a time idealized, but never having existed.
I don't consider you misled, I consider you to be noble and caring, since you crave a new age of idealism, as we all do. We can build it.
You are of the right mind.
RP is the new John Wayne!

Republican Convention.
The price of gasoline is predicted to be extremely high by the end of summer. We need to be prepared for this.
as part of your travel plans buy gasonine in advance of the trip
THINK ABOUT IT....GAS WILL NOT COME DOWN, SO JUST MAKE THAT THE FIRST THING YOU DO!!! DO IT NOW...IT WILL SOLIDIFY YOUR PLANS AND MAKE YOU MORE EXITED TO GO, KNOWING YOU ALREADY HAVE FUEL!!!!
Lew Rockwell warns you
Lew Rockwell has a warning for those who oppose the Republican fascist establishment. Sober up you dreamers and beware of tasers, teargas and skull cracking billy clubs. Maybe even Kent State style National Guardsmen bullets. These bums are beyond reform.

This is were a T-Shirt, cap or sign identifing a person
as a PEACEFUL protester would work wonders!
8000 Volunteers Needed for National Convention
This is a huge opportunity if Ron Paul supporters really stepped up and became volunteers for the national convention. Plus, it would look good on your political resume.
http://www.gopconvention....
Excellent way to get on the inside!
RP supporters need a secret hand signal, something like a real simple salute!

Plan To Be There
but I am not trying to fake being a Republican
by dressing a certain way - I am through with that -
I will be proudly wearing Ron Paul Revolution tee shirt
and some funky jeans.... I don't really care what GOP likes -
Ron Paul or 3rd Party....
speaking of party - I look forward to hearing RP at his rally in
St. Paul that he is planning!!
Of course you could think of the incognito strategy
as a little "surprise" for the GOP. I think they have one coming for laughing at Dr. P in the Debates. I know it would do him good to see a sea of "Laugh Now Buddy" T Shirts!
I thought he said
"Make fun, buddy"
Let the supporters attending the July 12 th march on DC
be a benchmark for your numbers to expect at the convention. We need at least six digit figures in both cases.
God will work with you but not for you - Walter Russell
July 12th
The diversion , black ops at the convention.
absolutely!
you are reading my mind...
also, look at the media coverage 75k people in oregon got for obama
just imagine what 10 times that in d.c. on the 12th of july and the same number at the gop convention will do for the cause of freedom...
will YOU be there? will YOU be at at least one or the other? or both?
BRING VIDEO CAMERAS
catch everything you can on video. the convention will play dirty tricks on ron paul supporters.
I AM GOING TO THE CONVENTION!
And I will not be confined to the "free speech area" I will roam the city, not looking for confrontation, but looking for the media.

Me too!
Just to be there to show support. B-)

Me too I can't wait.
`I have no problem with non-violent...
civil disobedience. After all , Ron Paul stated it may be needed to restore our freedoms. I only believe in violence as a response to a threat on my life or my children's lives (and obviously only in self-defense).
Libera me, let the truth break, what my fears make--Leslie Phillips
What if
What quaint words.
How about..."I'm going and if you're serious about making a statement you would be too." instead?
Anybody Up For A Little Civil Disobedience??????????

Posted April 29th, 2008 by Thomas
If anyone had the brains they would quit screwing around and organize the biggest mass support gathering for the GOP convention. And I mean every single last Ron Paul supporter that has 2 legs goes and surround the convention and make those antiquated GOP neocon supporting asswipes piss their pants for fear of their lives and demand that they cut loose that sack of manure McCain and rally around Ron Paul against whatever Dem is nominated.
Has to be at least one million people enough to paralyze movement for miles around the convention. No need to grovel for a permit or to be herded into a "protest zone" like they have already arranged.Done the same move in my hometown when the city father saw fit to try force water meters on private property wells that were dug and paid for property owners to try to make us pay for our own water. You should have seen the look of fear on their faces in the hall,priceless and yeah they backed off. This could be done at the convention.
But you say "But I might get arrested or someone might get hurt" if thing were to get out of hand.So what over a million Iraqi's have been killed for naught,not to mention all of our troops and we will be fortunate if the George& Dick show don't fire up things in Iran.Look at the havoc this Admin has done to our inherent rights with crap like the "Patriot Act", Fisa, the hundreds of lies to go to war.
Look at what the media has done to Ron Paul at the debates, and also all the shit the GOP is pulling state by state.They have taken away our vote with electronic machines proven to be faulty and easily rigged.No but were probably going to roll over and take it up the wazoo and beg for a kiss afterward because this country is sick from the inside out and is probably too far gone because there are not many real men left here in the good ol USA,but there might be a remnant big enough. Do you for one second think that any of the founders would have put up with any of this crap?
Dubya would have either been impeached or hung at the first major act of treason if they had any say in things.McCain cannot win against the dems, no if's and or buts and if Rons not in the position we are screwed and there won't be enough time to turn things around 4 years later. By 2012 our economy will have collapsed and this country will be over with.
Who is in???
Paper Ballots,Hand Counted At The Precinct Or Bust
Now thats...
What I'm talkin' bout.
To hell with the permits, a million people don't need a permit.
There comes a time to make a stand.
"There comes a time when silence, is betrayal." - MLK Jr.
But, this is only my opinion.
MLK was a big believer in civil disobedience!
MLK was a big believer in civil disobedience!
i'm in!
people should really begin asking themselves...what have i got to lose...because the answer is EVERYTHING!
if you don't go, you lose...if you do go, you might not lose...
please go, everybody, please go...sleep in your car...take your own tp, your own water...dismiss the need for creature comforts, be aware, be ready, be prepared
there is strength in numbers...accept your fellow patriot once you arrive...show up, mass up, rise up!
and then, peacefully, go home proudly after we change the world by changing America!
but
they might run out of tasers and provacatuers...!

If you REALLY want to make difference be a volunteer at the RNC!!! THey need 8000 volunteers and it's a perfect way to get inside and make some noise for ron paul.
If they are looking for 8,000 volounteers
You are right, that would be an excellent way to get on the inside.
Even Though Non-Violent
the jails will probably be quite full for the evening
Why?
It's supposedly still a free country. We might not be all allowed in, but we could show up.
Rage Against the Machine did a free protest concert outside the DNC in 2000, and tens of thousands showed up. The concert was great and people got to protest.
But, there were a lot of anarchists in the crowd, so about an hour after the concert, after many threats, yelling and bottle throwing... the police decided to beat down the protesters.
If we don't get violent though... there is no reason for them to stop a peaceful protest.
half the time these
half the time these "violence inciters" are plants. Should any appear in OUR gatherings, we should NOT join with them. Instead we should subdue them ourselves.
"Supposedly" is the key
"Supposedly" is the key word.
I think a mass showup at the convention is a good idea as long as there is a second convention across the street for Paulians.
SUPPORT OUR FOUNDERS' AMERICA
Support the Constitution of the United States
but..
ron paul would never wear a mc cain button or paraphenalia and i, for one, will never do so either. ron paul is about honesty and i will continue my honesty as well. i do not believe that one must give up integrity to get this job done. oh- and the job WILL be done!!

If Non-violent than I agree, better than going to Washington.
War, Peace, and the State by Murray N. Rothbard
http://www.lewrockwell.co...
"Engage in nonviolent revolution, for example, tax strikes, boycotts, mass refusal to obey government orders or a general strike – especially in arms factories".
It would serve a lot more for the movement than to be ignored in Washington.
"Give me liberty or give me death"; Not, "Give me liberty or I will destroy public property, turn over cars and possibly kill, even a few innocent if necessary".
grant
Just the discussion of doing violence is
all they need. Not only would the opposition love to use these kind of rumblings against RP, the Home Land Security people are just looking for an excuse. The fact is RP advocates only peaceful protest, anything other and you have crossed the line.
Screw that...
Let's blow the place up! We could get them all at once!
Just kidding. (Nice thought though.)
You are absolutely right
You are absolutely right about this!
